Albrighton given injury all-clear

Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton has recovered from a thigh problem and will be fully fit for the start of pre-season training on July 5.

Albrighton suffered the same setback on three separate occasions last season and missed the finale of the Barclays Premier League campaign, but he has been given the thumbs-up by Villa's medical team after having the injury checked during the summer break.
